Банальная задача: Дано n точек на плоскости. Необходимо найти наибольшее количество точек, лежащих на одной прямой.

Вопрос: Решаема ли эта задача быстрее, чем за , или же О(n2) — с хеш-мэпом.

There is problem called 3SUM, for which there are no known subquadratic (o(n2)) algorithms in common case. Many geometric problems are proven to be 3SUM-Hard, including "Given n points, check if there are 3 collinear points". Some more information in this paper.
